Eagle Auto Tranny, I think a nut fell into the hole...seriously, heh.

[roger lodge <rogerlodge8@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

So I've spent some time away from my eagle and had my
dad starting it occasionally to keep it in shape. I
got home and, like he said, the shifter lever had come
loose.

This is supposedly a silver AMX spirit auto floor
shifter where the normal black one should be. Anyway,
there is no rally pac in at the moment, just bare
bones...

The shifter is way loose and I believe there used to
be a nut holding in in place. I looked all around for
the nut and I assume it fell into the hole that goes
into the floor.

Tomorrow I will bring home my flexible magnetic
picker-upper thing and fish around for it inside the
floor shifter hole.

Anyway, if I happen NOT to find it again, my question
is what would happen? WHERE does the hole go? When
driving it I feel warm air coming out from the hole,
and I don't beleive it's exhaust fumes. 

Will a lost nut in this hole destroy my tranny if I
shift out of park or is the gear box still sealed?
Where does the warm air come from? Please help me
understand my vehicle...

Hoping to be ready for the snow (4x4)....
